(1, 4)?

Answer:

[tex]y=-3x+7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the points (3,-2) and (1,4) is

[tex]\dfrac{4-(-2)}{1-3}=\dfrac{4+2}{-2}=\dfrac{6}{-2}=-3[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the line is

[tex]y-(-2)=-3(x-3)[/tex]

Rewrite it:

[tex]y+2=-3x+9\\ \\y=-3x+9-2\\ \\y=-3x+7[/tex]

The last equation is the slope-intercept equation of linear function.
